percona 5.6 - ubuntu 12.04.03 problem

10-16-2013, 07:13 AM

Hi
I installed percona 5.6 in Ubuntu 12.04.03 and generated my.cnf for 5.6 verseion but it seems that it generated wrong data, wrong point to mysql.sock and mysql.pid i changed it to /var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock and /var/run/mysqld/mysql.pid and it started, but i don't know if it is normal that when i list processes it showed me mysql_safe? Why?

This problem is annoying because i tried to install percona 5.6 on ubuntu 13.04 and when it happened i installed 12.04 and thre is the same bug and can't start mysql daemon unlil change to properly sock,pid, but problem still happen i gues because there are mysql_safe running (for what)?

I installed percona in this way, but change do variables from 5.5 to 5.6

By default Percona Server 5.6 does not create any /etc/mysql/my.cnf file. All you should get is new /etc/mysql/debian.cnf.
So this is not a bug, you just apparently had a my.cnf coming from other installation, where you had different paths.

Also the mysqld_safe is a wrapper/control script for mysqld which existed always. One of it's task is to restart mysqld if needed. In Ubuntu it was replaced by upstart script and in Fedora by systemd one. But I still trust the mysqld_safe more

Note that Percona Server on Ubuntu is not controlled by upstart, but by the standard init.d.
